Patient's question:
For a while now, I've noticed that my glans is particularly dry, and it seems to be shedding something like dandruff. I also feel itchy and painful. Is this balanitis? Please ask: When diagnosing redness and swelling of the glans, what are the key points to pay attention to?Doctor's answer:
For your question, the redness and swelling of the glans are caused by the expansion and fibrosis of blood vessels inside the glans, leading to redness and swelling. It can be diagnosed by a doctor's careful examination. In most cases, it is caused by balanitis due to unclean sexual intercourse. Using Jieryin for cleaning, followed by treatment with Biclotym and levofloxacin intravenous infusion for anti-inflammatory purposes, will improve the condition. For patients with glans redness and swelling, timely treatment can reduce the incidence. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should receive timely medication and pay attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
